It happened in the PHP community as well, facebook being the poster child, but Yahoo also had a fair number of internal optimizations and I saw a few other companies tweak their way to get better perf/security.

Then comes a point where the community catches on and has bigger momentum than the company, so it makes sense to move to the standard implementation.

I'd kinda see Google's Borg -> k8s move as slightly similar, though they're the one inviting the community around the standard they built themselves.
I agree. I attempted to use Copilot more this week for a couple projects at work I had to get done quickly. I hadn’t been using it at all for the past few months, but when a co-worker asked for help getting it working it reminded me to take another look. These particular things seemed better suited for Copilot than some of the other work I had.

I found that having a solid foundation was critical for knowing if something would work, and even just to write a prompt that was semi-decent.

At one point I asked for what I wanted, but it kept only doing half of it and I could tell just by glancing at the code it was wrong. I then had to get very, very specific about what I wanted. It eventually gave a correct answer, but it was the long annoying option I was trying to avoid, so it didn’t change my end result, and I don’t even think it saved me any typing due to all the prompts to get there. It just gave me some level of confirmation that there wasn’t an obvious better way that I’d be able to find quickly.
I'm a bit confused by the response, but 'Palestinian' is not an ethnicity, no. 'Jews' are an ethnoreligious group.

Towards the end of the 19th century, immediately after the opening of Japan, the Westerners learned for the first time about the Japanese martial arts and one of the things that were the most surprising for them was that instead of fighting with fists, like it was preferred especially in USA and UK, the Japanese preferred to use the open hand, preferably the edge or the base, as being much safer and more effective.

At the same time in Okinawa they preferred to use the fists, but that was right for them only because those using fists practiced daily conditionining of the fists by hitting a maki-wara.

Also today, for anyone who does not punch regularly some training device, hitting either with the open hand (edge or base) or only with the external side of the fist (hammer fist) is the right choice for any purpose.

My uncle is a lawyer in Europe who specializes in art law and I can assure you based on listening to him talk about cases, that you are likely to have to return the stolen art if there is sufficient evidence despite any inheritances or intermediate transactions (at least in the nation where he practices).

However, returning the stolen goods is on a different level from taking on the penalties or damages of the initial theft.
"We all agree on the earth’s shape. For surely we always speak of the round ball of the Earth" - Pliny (Natural History, II.64). In year 77.

If the earth was commonly spoken of in day to day language as the round ball, than i would assume this meant that even commoners knew that it was round.
Yeah, but the words mean something a little different to Smith - he's writing in the context of 1700s Scotland. As you note, he is talking about unproductive classes. That is different from the modern tenant-landlord relation where there is an unproductive aspect and a productive aspect. He wouldn't have changed his position at all on the unproductive part, but if we got rid of that he'd have been OK with what was left.

> You haven’t provided any evidence to the contrary

Neither have you. You've provided huge amounts of evidence that Smith doesn't like rents from land. I'm with Smith on that, rents from land are a moral and economic problem.

The issue your argument has is modern rental landlords aren't just doing that - they are also maintaining and renting out a significant amount of capital. That aspect of their role isn't going away; it would be silly to demand that everyone owns the house that they live in.

The word has drifted. We aren't talking about aristocrats who own vast tracks of farmland that they're leaching off. At the start of the chapter he lays it out with "In adjusting the terms of the lease, the landlord endeavours to leave [the tenant] no greater share of the produce than what is sufficient to keep up the stock from which he furnishes the seed, pays the labour, and purchases and maintains the cattle and other instruments of husbandry, together with the ordinary profits of farming stock in the neighbourhood.". That isn't what modern landlords are doing.
> If a person can see that a treatment is not FDA-approved and decides to try it anyway, the FDA's hands are clean. The failure is that if someone tries and fails to get their treatment approved, it's often more illegal to sell it than if they just claimed it worked without trying to go through the proper channels.

This is a regulation failure because a good regulatory framework shouldn’t allow this at all. It’s not about whether “the FDA’s hands are clean,” it’s about what system should be in place that gets us to the outcome we want. In my mind, this would be a place where ineffective treatments aren’t allowed (because why should they be?), but safety/efficacy is then traded off against what the patient needs.

Coming from outside the USA, it sounds to me like the regulatory system isn’t achieving any of that? I think I agree with the broad thrust of what you’re putting forward, my issue only comes with the “guide” part. Medical experts need to be the ones leading the treatment because… well… they’re the experts.

Costa Rica is also known as basically the only democratically stable country in its immediate area. They are perhaps sometimes lumped in with their neighbors when people consider them as a country when in actuality they operate pretty much on the level of European countries in terms of stability of democracy (Costa Rica is still behind Europe in some other metrics beyond their political system but as a political entity they are quite stable and well run, at least compared to their neighbors)
I did this, and thought I was alone. Around this time last year, picked up woodworking and jumped in the deep end. Metabo saws and nailes, building mini A-frames for my pet rabbit, shelves, shoecase, you name it. It's gratifying and provides a sense of control and completion - which sometimes doesn't happen in the real world.

Oh, half the fun is the sales calls. It’s very much something I can delegate off to a person on my team, but this is relatively new and so the volume is not that large yet. I also really enjoy them!

I treat these more as discovery sessions than anything else. It’s also how I’ve landed on the exact pricing points I have - talking to people, especially when early, is a great experience.

There’s also something to be said about showing prices only in calls - people hate it here (or in general), but there is value to showing the price at the end of the call and not at the start. You get to show the thing to the person, get them excited, and then the price point looks a little different.

The trick is tailoring the sales call to the person - if I can convince them that they should keep me around since I provide a good service, they might pay the price.

Also, there are always discounts as the guy above mentioned;)

> That held true for search and that holds true with AI coding assistant.

100% - this was not obvious to me until I was working at a startup and delegated a task to some others. They tried for close to an hour to find a solution to a problem and came up empty handed. I had a go and instantly found the answer.

What was the difference? It was our ability to put into Google the right terms to find the answer.

Already I find myself doing most coding via AI, with my work being high level skills (choosing how to organise code, knowing when to refactor and when the AI has gone too far).

The productivity increase is crazy.

Whilst I've never had definite proof I don't think I've ever doubted this. Similarly—again sans proof—I've always assumed that that consciousness in other creatures would manifest itself in significantly different ways than it does in humans.

I've owned dogs and even as a kid I refused to believe that they were just automatons acting without being conscious and aware of their actions. One of my dogs in particular could read my actions and emotions probably better than I could myself and it's hard to conceive let alone believe that he wasn't self-aware. Unless we've absolute proof to the contrary, it just makes sense to assume most if not all creatures have some degree of sentience.

That said, there has to be a scaling factor here. There just isn't sufficient neurons in say an ant's brain to register the complex emotions of a human and it seems sensible to me that we need to keep this perspective when dealing with all living creatures.

Anthropomorphizing and likening the consciousnesses of an ant to that of humans is, in my opinion, fraught with problems. For example, if we believed that ants perceived the world in the same way as we humans do and or that they were self-aware to the same degree as us then we could be in big trouble, as such an understanding would likely stop us taking action when they became pests (when, say, fire ants are imported into countries where they aren't native).

We do not fully understand consciousnesses in ourselves nor are we able to put a measure on it, so attempting to extrapolate our degree of sentience to other organisms not only doesn't make sense but it also could be dangerous to our own wellbeing, thus we should be very cautious until we have a much better understanding of what consciousness actually is.

Let me say categorically that is no excuse for being cruel and or to disregard the 'feelings' of creatures irrespective of their 'brain power'. We do however have to ensure that well meaning people who have strong anthropomorphic feelings are not able to set unrealistic rules in respect of living creatures that could be detrimental to our own wellbeing.

As I see it, honing an appropriate and proportionate response is our biggest challenge.

hmm.
I ended up with a few 750+ line chunks of js, beyond the ability of chatgpt to parse back at me. So my go-to technique now is to break it into smaller chunks and make them files in a folder structure, rather than existing inside a single *.js
So readability is an issue for me- even more so because I rely on ChatGPT to parse it back- sometimes I understand the code, but usually I need the llm to confirm my understanding.
I'm not sure if this scales for teams. My work has sourcegraph, which should assist with codebases. So far it hasn't been particularly useful- I can use it to find specific vulnerable libraries, keys in code etc, but that is just search.

What I really need is things like "show me the complete chain of code for this particular user activity in the app and highlight tokens used in authentication" ... - something senior engineers struggle to pull from our hundreds of services and huge pile of code. And so far sourcegraph and lightstep are incapable of doing that job. Maybe with better RAG or infinite context length or some other improvement there will be that tool. But currently the combined output of 1000's of engineers over years almost un-navigable.
Some of that code might be crisp, some of it is definitely of llm-like quality (in a bad way)- I know this because I hear people's explanation of said code and how they misremembered it's function during post mortems. Folks copy and pasting outdated example code from the wiki etc. ie making things they don't understand. I presume that used to happen from stackoverflow too. Engineers moving to llm won't make too much difference IMO.

I agree, your points are valid, but I see "prompt engineering" as democratization of the ability to code. Previously this was all out of reach for me, behind a wall of memorization of language and syntax that I touched in the Pascal era and never crossed.

EV charging makes no money.

The only reason public EV charging stations exist is because of government subsidy.

Tesla -- despite selling more EVs last year than every US automaker combined -- got only 17% of the NVEI grants.

Tesla isn't going to build public infrastructure on its own dime. It will build cars, and let the other eager players built the infra instead.

---

But somehow forecasted slowdown of a player with than less than one-fifth of the grant money is causing existential doubt?

Anyone concerned that Ford is going to build fewer gas stations?
This same issue existed with Stack Overflow, but AI further lowers the barrier to be dangerous by throwing a brick on the gas pedal.

I’ve also found it makes otherwise knowledgeable and experienced people think they can do stuff without learning it. I’ve had several people on my team tell me they think Copilot will help them get up to speed and help out with some of the stuff I’m working on. So far none of them have done anything and I’m not sure how Copilot explaining a block of code is going to do anything for them. It’s already a very easy syntax to read, and they all already have coding experience in other languages. It’s a tool to let them think helping will be easy, so they volunteer, then do nothing because it isn’t the reality of the situation.

The constraints on battery powered vessels are, perhaps surprisingly, not really associated with weight or volume at all, but with cost.

So ocean going container ships will be a question of economics. I agree that we won't see large ocean crossings happening on 100% battery but there will be a few trends:

1. "Green corridors" where electric container ships know they'll be able to get their battery containers swapped.

2. Hybrid marine diesel generators plus battery (battery for nearshore waters and ports and diesel for offshore). The battery gets 100% utilised but doesn't cover your whole trip. The marine diesel generators get to work with high efficiency, being at a constant optimum operating point.

3. Potentially - new dedicated refueling ports situated in coastal deserts. Their only real purpose is to load and unload batteries and recharge them with cheap renewables. Port fees are a significant proportion of container ship operating expenditure so it might be uneconomic to clog up a busy port with battery change-out.

4. Change to shipping cost structure changes shipping routes - rather than shipping cost being proportional to distance, electrified routes will have lower cost per km as long as they follow a coast and stop to change batteries. When you look at those maps of shipping routes, there are not that many locations where you HAVE to make long ocean voyages; you can follow the coast instead without adding much distance. This means we can't necessarily assume today's pattern of shipping remains constant.

5. Reduced shipping of crude oil and coal

Nintendo aren't using the DMCA takedown process for copyright-infringing material (the thing people normally mean by DMCA). They're sending letters to GitHub about how Yuzu is, in their view, a tool for circumvention of technological protection measures and therefore illegal in itself (under different provisions of the DMCA).
technologically the charger was good enough for any upcoming demand I'd say no?

the most challenging is the "deployment" / installation of it and turning it more (price) efficient which I guess would be done by different department hence firing

How? Tabs preserve the navigation history too. Bookmarks don’t. Searching for it doesn’t work when you don’t remember which website it was. Following links from search results and links from those pages (from the search results) to get somewhere that seems like it could help…that’s just one of the ways tabs get accumulated.
Interesting. What kind of exercise do you do? and how do you define Zone 2 (there are many contradicting definitions out there)?
I would try going a bit to zone 3/4 at times (of course while being careful not to injure yourself) not only to get the 'noticeable' positive effect, but also because it seems like you get bored/frustrated a lot in your workouts and it doesn't have to be that boring.
Anyway keep at it, I hope you will enjoy it more and get that nice feelings everyone is talking about. Try noticing if your sleep is a bit deeper and better after hard sessions, how your energy levels are etc. For most people there will be improvement in those areas (you could be an outlier but I kinda doubt it).

Also - don't take it the wrong way but it's going to be very hard for you to notice anything positive about the whole thing if you're convinced you hate every minute of it. I'm not sure how you can get out of this mindset but I think it's important that you do. Or try different kinds of exercise that you don't hate.

>LLMs will produce output that is messed up, students will spend time figuring out how to fix that and learn the language grammar this way.

I’ve never met anyone who prefers debugging over writing fresh code. Did LLMs just automate away the fun part and leave us with the drudgery? That sounds like a horrible way to learn. All work and no play…

It also would mainly teach how to get good at spotting those little mistakes. But without context from writing code, it seems like it would be harder to pickup on what doesn’t look right. They’d also miss out on learning how to take a problem and break it down so it can be done with code. That’s a foundational skill that takes time and effort to build, which is being farmed out to the LLM.
Same as a wireframe. If you eg add colours and design elements people will focus on that.

i thought about that, and certainly i have read a lot of terribly written papers (twps) in recent years, but i think this is partly survival bias; there were lots of twps in the older literature (ol) too, but they don't get cited, so you have to do things like find an entire ol journal issue (maybe one containing a single well-known paper) to read through and find twps. but the well-written papers from the ol seem to be much, much better written than the current well-written papers. i think something about the current publishing pipeline acts as a filter against good writing, something that didn't use to be there
